This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Michael is professional lawyer that is tactful in handling difficult cases that demand higher levels of expertise negotiating.

I was facing some dire felony charges and damaging false allegations that easily could have landed me a very unfavorable outcome with the courts. Had I not trusted Michael to settle my case and press the relentless D.A. for a more appropriate deal based on important facts/arguements surrounding my c...ase, my future would not have been so bright in the contrary. Michael Sager is a dedicated attorney that does what he says and goes to great lengths to get you the best possible results in my experience. He was upfont about everything involving my case and what to expect throughout the entire process. I trusted Michael with my future and I was not dissappointed one bit, he exceeded my expectations with the deal he got me and I would highly reccommend this lawyer to everyone facing serious legal issues. I would definitely rehire him. His costs are affordable and he's not afraid to step into the courtroom and start making changes right away. Thanks again Michael!

The best experience I've ever had.

Sad enough to say I've dealt with a lot of lawyers in my life for more trains than I care but then I came across Michael Sager. I had no clue lawyers could actually be compassionate, driven, and dedicated to there clients. I've only known then to be sleazy, money hunger pricks. I met Michael a little... over a year ago when I wss facing some very serious charges and a possible life sentence. When I interviewed him he told me "look I don't have very much experience but I'm driven and dedicated to my clients and I'll give your case the time it deserves and I won't quit fighting for what's right." Not exactly the words you want to hear your lawyer say but I took a chance and put my life in his hands and after many court dates and lots of visits to the jail Michael and I went to trial and found ourselves hearing the words "NOT GUILTY" 7 times. I can't tell you how proud I am to have this man as my lawyer and would not hesitate to hire him again. He truly saved my life and fought for justice he proved to me the justice system does work when you have a lawyer who is willing to stand up and fight. You can trust this man with your life that's a fact and I can guarantee he will fight just as hard for you as he did for me. It's just the way he is built. He doesn't know how to do it any other way. Thanks Michael I'm forever in your debt.
